Mary sent lots of food goodies &#8211; she\u2019s heard me complain too much about the lack of good food options here. And I got my two favorite things from my mother-in-law: the annual Audabon daytimer calendar and chocolate covered cherries! We had a good phone call with Pete and Ginger, and I had a video chat with Pam, Ann, and Jackie. Earlier in the week, I had a video chat with Mary in Nashville and got to see Ander and little Samantha &#8211; life\u2019s good!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6208\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6208\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6208\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/29AAFDFE-EE70-4FC3-B217-51820790D81A-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/29AAFDFE-EE70-4FC3-B217-51820790D81A-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/29AAFDFE-EE70-4FC3-B217-51820790D81A-768x1022.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/29AAFDFE-EE70-4FC3-B217-51820790D81A-769x1024.jpeg 769w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/29AAFDFE-EE70-4FC3-B217-51820790D81A.jpeg 1537w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cuz everyone needs a tiara!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>(Speaking of Nashville, luckily Mary and Ander\u2019s family weren\u2019t affected &#8211; a bomb?
